Double Success: Chicken Soup for the College Soul - Indian College Students

In August 2010, I mentioned about selling stories to Chicken Soup for the Soul - Indian College Students. The book was published in April 2011 and today, we received our copies. A special moment of happiness, as in this title both my husband, Jaimon and I share a story each, titled 'A Project Journey from Scratch' and 'An Inspired Ride' respectively. 

A Project Journey from Scratch is about my husband and his friend's hands-on-experience of his final year B.Tech project at TKM College of Engineering, Kollam, Kerala. An Inspired Ride is about how I learnt to ride Enfield bullet and took it as a challenge to ride the heavy bike, when I was 17. 

This is the first time, my husband shared a story and feels good as we both share stories for the same title. 

I hope you will enjoy both the stories.

Since then, I have written for 66 publications and will touch 67th mark in February 2010. In 2009, I devoted more time for my other interests. In writing, the long-awaited Chicken Soup for the Indian Teenage Soul was published. The anthology has one of my stories - "Grade's Don't Define You." I also sold another personal story to Chicken Soup for the Indian Woman's Soul. I worked on multiple corporate and web content writing projects apart from my regular writing assignments. And more than before, I rejected several of the offered assignments either because they wanted to work for very low rates or the topics weren't of interest to me. For now, I am trying to win assignments from a couple of national publications. And hope I can find time to fulfill my much-...
